Videos of Preston-My Deaf/Blind Student

As many of you know, this past year I was employed by the State of Utah as a Communication Intervener for the Deaf and Blind. I was assigned to work with a boy named Preston. I got permission from his mother to video tape and post videos of him at a summer camp that I am helping him transition to, so here is some of the footage I got of him. See how smart he is for yourself! I'm telling you, he is a genius! It was so much fun working with him all of this school year helping him learn new American Sign Language Vocabulary, spelling, typing, counting money, telling time, reading and so much more! He was really the most social kid and all the children in the school just loved him. He has the best smile and laugh. I'm gonna miss working with him but am so glad that I have some videos of him to help me remember what a special boy he is! All three videos are different even though it looks the same at the beginning.

Proposal Videos and Thanksgiving Point Video

Michael and I were asked to help his brother, Russ, propose to Sarah. We helped Ruth-Anne up at Sundance to prep for the big occasion. Ruth-Anne made some beautiful bouquets that really added to the set-up. I was able to get access into a wood lodge where I was told they film a lot of movies and was able to get an awesome view of the proposal. Sarah said yes and they will be getting married in The San Antonio, Texas Temple on August 8. I'm so excited because I have an aunt who lives in Texas so it will be a blast to go and visit their family. The two first videos are of that night and the third one is of a date Michael and I went on to Thanksgiving Point Gardens where they have the largest man-made waterfalls.

We have chosen a Law School.....

and the winner is........Samford University-Cumberland School of Law in Alabama!!! It is a beautiful historic private school in Birmingham and also Michael received a scholarship there! We are excited about the big move which should be happening later this summer.

In other news, I went to the BYU surplus sale today and was able to buy a used (but definitely doesn't look it) Dell Latitude Laptop D800 for $200 dollars! Can't bet that!

More Maternity Pictures!

More updated Maternity Pictures! The first set was taken by my magnificent photographer Michael Wayne Brown when he took me to SLC for my birthday. The second set was taken on Easter Sunday. The last set are pictures from both of our bday dinners. For mine, we ate at The Garden Restaurant and had a great view of the LDS Temple. I also included a picture of us at The Roof, which is where I took Michael for his birthday.

We bought our carseat and stroller!

I just fell in love with this set and am really happy with the travel system we bought. The stroller is metrolite and the carseat is snugride. The colors we have chosen for our nursery are black and white with an accent color that is gender specific so the Rittenhouse travel system matches! Now we just can't wait to actually have a baby to put in it!
